The tightest walk in the city — every stop within four hundred metres. Molly Larkey's machines, a Texan modernist most people missed, and a sculpture show worth the detour.
OCHI Gallery
The Best Machines Are Made of Sunshine pairs sculptures by Molly Larkey and paintings by Caitlin Lonegan in a dialogue about transformation, perception, and material presence. Inspired by Donna Haraway’s concept of hybridity, the exhibition presents works that resist fixed interpretation, revealing themselves gradually through light, texture, and time. Together, the artists explore how shifting forms and surfaces invite sustained looking and multiple ways of seeing.

Osama Al Rayyan creates atmospheric paintings that emerge from memory, intuition, and continual revision rather than direct observation. Soft layers of muted color suggest figures, landscapes, and fleeting narratives that hover between recognition and abstraction. Drawing from personal history, art history, and the dreamlike logic of Magical Realism, his compositions balance blurred forms with geometric structures, inviting viewers into spaces where memory and imagination quietly converge.

Atchison's practice centers on carved plaster sculptures that address subjective experience in relation to popular visual archetypes, featuring elongated forms characterized by a multilayered relationship to mimesis where artworks function as both reproductions and novel objects.
